It's frustrating; terrorism is rare and largely ineffectual, yet we regularly magnify the effects of both their successes and failures by terrorizing ourselves.
America will be far safer if we reduce the chances of a terrorist attack in one of our cities than if we diminish the civil liberties of our own people.
The uncertainty of the danger belongs to the essence of terrorism.
Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people.
An escalating, violent tit-for-tat may lead to terrorism.
